Happy 12th birthday, Brittany

Last Saturday, Brittany turned 12. She is so excited to enter Young Women's! Amber was able to come home for her birthday. Mike and I gave her a luggage set, Emily and Tyler gave her a skirt and jewelry, and Amber and Ashlee gave her a sweater.

Brittany had a large group of friends and cousins over last night for her 12th birthday! They played games and had a lot of fun! I didn't realize the party would be this large. Thank goodness the weather was great and they took a lot of the games outside!

Moving Ashlee to Idaho.

Melissa and Amber came with us to help Ashlee moved in. It was fun to have them with us.

Mariah hadn't moved in by the time this picture was taken.

Ashlee is loving her roommates and classes. We all miss her, but are excited for her adventures.

Emily's cake

The young women in our ward had a cake auction as a fund raiser at our back to school block party. Emily made this beautiful cake. It was a four layer cake; white, chocolate, white, chocolate. There was chocolate mousse between each layer. Everything was made from scratch except the white cake was from a box cake mix. Mike outbid everyone for Emily's cake. It was delicious!
